Since the late 1990’s, the DASH diet has been promoted as the ideal diet for lowering blood pressure. The diet itself, called the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, calls for a reduction in red meats, sweets and artificial sugars, and emphasizes fruits and vegetables as well as a whole host of heart healthy foods. The full diet plan can be found at on the National Institutes of Health Website. But does this DASH diet work? What about simply reducing sodium intake?

An exciting new article about isometric handgrip exercise and lowering blood pressure was released this month ahead of its scheduled printing in the journal Hypertension. The title of the article is Isometric handgrip exercise and resting blood pressure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and was written by two prestigious researchers, Dr. George A. Kelley and Kristi S. Kelley.
The researchers analyzed three randomized controlled studies about isometric handgrip therapy (the foundation for Zona Plus therapy) and resting blood pressure. The analysis revealed an average drop of approximately 10% in both …

A new study to be published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology studied the effects of a single bout of isometric handgrip therapy on systolic blood pressure and the autonomic nervous system.

Accidentally discovered by the U.S. Air Force in the 1960’s, the Zona Plus is an isometric handgrip therapy device which uses patented technology designed to optimize the natural blood pressure lowering effects of isometric handgrip therapy.  According to the Harvard Health Letter,  “Squeezing the grip for a few minutes a day has been shown to lower blood pressure as much as a first-line antihypertension drug.”
The microcomputer inside of the Zona Plus measures the overall handgrip strength of the user before every session and then designs a tailored routine. The routine …

“I have been using the Zona Plus for a couple of months now
and the results have been remarkable. In that time my blood pressure has dropped over 30 points and for the first time in many years I no longer need medication. I would recommend Zona Plus to anyone dealing with high blood pressure, to give it a try, and start living a better quality of life.” -Barry Smith
